Description complète

Cette expérience de 1,5 heures se déroule au départ de Kyoto, construite autour de temple Kenninji. Votre place est retenue auprès de l'opérateur avant que nous considérions votre réservation comme définitive.

Kyoto fut la capitale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans jusqu'en 1868 et compte 17 sites classés UNESCO parmi environ 2 000 temples et sanctuaires. Les trois grands sont Kinkaku-ji, le Pavillon d'or, recouvert de feuille d'or et meilleur à la lumière du matin ; Kiyomizu-dera, la scène en bois sur les collines orientales avec les allées de Higashiyama, Sannenzaka et Ninenzaka en dessous ; et les portiques de Fushimi Inari. Le château de Nijo a les planchers du rossignol qui grincent contre les intrus, et Ryoan-ji le jardin de pierres. Les temples ouvrent vers 8h00 ou 9h00 et ferment à 17h00, et le bus municipal est lent ; une journée avec un chauffeur ou un guide qui ordonne les arrêts contre les foules fait la différence entre quatre sites et sept.

Le prix comprend visite guidée de 1h30, guide expert, visite du temple Kennin-ji, apercu du bouddhisme zen et observation de jardins de pierres. Tout ce qui est inclus est listé en entier sur cette page ; si quelque chose ne figure pas dans cette liste, considérez que ce n’est pas compris dans le prix.

日本、〒605-0073 京都府京都市東山区祇園町北側238 東山警察署大和大路交番. Nous avons besoin d'au moins un jour de préavis et nous confirmons la date avant de considérer votre réservation comme définitive. Si la date ne peut pas être confirmée, nous vous le disons et vous remboursons plutôt que de vous laisser attendre.

Teppei was an outstanding guide. He was full of enthusiasm and energy, and I learned so much about the local area and the differences between Japan’s two main religions. The visit to Kennin-ji Temple was amazing. The Zen garden was a knock-out.

Oto, our tour guide, was lovely. He was both considerate and knowledgable. He guided us gently around the temple and explained it all very clearly. I feel I learned a lot without realising it. I really enjoyed chatting with him about his life in Japan too.

Shoes off at every hall, quiet voices, and no photographs inside the halls unless a sign allows it. At a shrine, rinse hands and mouth at the basin, then bow twice, clap twice and bow once; at a temple, hands together without clapping. Dress is relaxed, but shoulders and knees covered is the courteous choice.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
